Hughes/Wenger settle dispute

Mark Hughes and Arsene Wenger have agreed to settle their childish row during Wednesday night's Carling Cup  - with a game of tig.

Hughes said: "It is important in a world where so many terrible things happen - such as mega-rich investors losing money in Dubai hotel investments - that we managers set an example.

"My tig record speaks for itself. I think there is a very great chance of Wenger being 'it' and remaining 'it' for some time to come."

Wenger said: "Tig is a gentleman's game and everybody know that it is a philosophy and I think Mr Hughes does not really understand this at all.

"I will give people they kind of tig they want to see with lots of dodges and risk-taking not the kind of percentage tig practised by Mr Hughes."
